But if your keen to drive it year round or don't have the opportunity to store it than yes. Rust proof this car.
While were on the subject, should I rust proof my 2017 Accord? Anybody know how they handle rust? I traded my 2014 in recently but it seemed to be clean without any signs of rust.

Where did you hear they are "rust buckets"? I am rust free after two winters and expect it to last for years. The day of rusting away in 3 or 4 years is long gone (except for Mazdas for some reason). Walk through any parking lot and see just how few 10 or 15 year old cars have rust on them. I remember a day when a 5 year old car would be literally falling apart (looking at you 80s Fords and Dodges) but now there ay be a tiny speck in a seam someplace and people freak out.
The value of rustproofing is questionable these days but as Fuji said for $119 it sure can't hurt.
